It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting there talking about the rugby, ready for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Huntspill and put petrol in her diesel Renault lease car. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Somerset well done in my mind!

Our Areas of Specialties:

Here's a list of the wrong fuel services we deliver.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Somerset we are discovering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank is going to bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.}

Management of Waste Fuel

Have an old fuel reservoir sitting at the back of your premises with old, useless or contaminated fuel? We could assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of domestic and industrial properties in Somerset to take care of removing and recycling fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to remove and recycle waste fuel safely and legally. Whether the fuel storage is an underground reservoir, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in an outbuilding, providing we can access it, we can drain it for you.

Re-Fueling Services

Out of fuel in Huntspill (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill the car. They will fix the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe dead batteries because of over-cranking.

Fuel Removal Huntspill - Huntspill Vehicle Misfuel

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set out to help a new couple on vacation in Huntspill. They pulled over after filling diesel in their Mercedes, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady berating her man for actually being so confused. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens on daily basis in Somerset and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!
